Youth Hostels Association of New Zealand Inc.

YHA Wellington

YHA New Zealand is a membership based organisation and many of its members have made an outstanding voluntary contribution to YHA over

numerous years.

Many of these members were involved with YHA when it was purely volunteer based and they often volunteered their time to support the hostels

and their activities.

This Roll of Honour provides a lasting reference to these members’ contributions and provides a valuable link to YHA's history.
